I have owned Spendor 3/1s, 3/1Ps, 2/3s, and now 1/2Es (circa '97). The SP1/2Es are what I would take a look at (some are labeled SP1/2 but are really E versions BTW) if you want music that approaches decent volume without overloading the bass. It has taken me several months to "get" the 1/2s (I initially did not hear the bass until I measured it because it really does not "hit" like many speakers), but now I see that they are just simply remarkable and I will never sell them unless I am destitute. A good pair of used ones will go for $1200-1400, depending on wood and condition. Also, they rock with modest power and refuse to cause listening fatigue...I can listen to every single disc in my collection and never feel like the highs are biting my head off. I could go on, but you get the picture!
Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3?
Hi all
It seems like Spendors and Harbeths share a lot of qualities, while the Spendors seem to be less expensive. Are any Spendor models comparable to C7ES3s? I really like what I've read about the Harbeths, but they aren't available in my area while Spendors are.
Any other similar speakers to consider?
Thanks
